Weigh In: 169.9 Woke up a little after 6:30 a.m. to get that workout in before getting ready for work. Activity: 3 sets of reverse flys, skater lunges, double crunches; over…

Homemade Hamburger Helper
I was asked last night if we could do hamburger helper. Since I am trying to limit the amount of processed foods, there was none of that in our pantry… so I found a recipe that I modified a bit to make our own. Original recipe is at the bottom. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 lb burger…
Weight Loss Journey – Day 2
This morning I did weigh in .2 lbs more – however, my muscles are super sore and typically I gain a lot more weight than what I did when I usually workout. Also, I still weigh less than what I did last Tuesday! Weigh In: 170.6 Woke up a little at 6:15 to get that…
Weight Loss Journey – Day 1
For the past few years, I’ve noticed each year an additional 10 lbs is gained and this year I’ve finally decided to do something about it. I will still be posting recipes that are straight and to the point, but those will be separate from these posts. What I have come to realize is that…
Black Bean Burgers/Meatballs
I am not one that likes black beans – however, I was looking for recipes with the excess cans I have. With the meat prices going up, I wanted to find another alternative as well. I absolutely love this recipe though and wanted to share! One part I want to note is that it’s best…
Venison Bourbon Bites
If you are a fan of venison and love bourbon, this is a great recipe to try! Ingredients: Venison steak/roast (ours was maybe 1 1/2 lbs) 1/2 cup Bourbon (any kind) 1 TBSP maple syrup 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar 2 TBSP butter 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1 TBSP chives (optional) 1 small onion…
Rice Supreme
If you love rice and want to try a different recipe, this is definitely a good one to make. I used basmati rice, but you can use jasmine rice instead. I’m not sure how this would turn out with brown rice or any other type of rice. Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef 1 lb sausage…
Mac & Cheese Meatloaf Casserole
Some may think this is a weird combination, but if you love macaroni and cheese, bbq sauce and meatloaf, especially as one meal, give this one a try! For a more low-carb option, instead of pasta use cauliflower. Ingredients needed: 1 cup ketchup 1 cup barbeque sauce – I used honey barbeque 30 Ritz Crackers…
Cheesecake Truffles

Jambalaya
This is our favorite jambalaya recipe and does not require a box mix! You most likely have a lot of the seasonings for the cajun/creole seasoning and I’ve listed the recipe for that as well below. Ingredients for jambalaya: 1 package polish kielbasa 1/2 lb or 1 lb of shrimp (you can use cooked or…
Day 24 – Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout
Who out there is familiar with Sam Adam’s Utopias? We weren’t until recently and if you happen to see this 4-pack, it is worth every penny. I was trying to find the last few beers to fill our advent box and saw this 4 pack, which I thought was a certain price. At checkout, it…
Sugar Cookie Cheesecake
If you are looking for a different type of cheesecake to make, this is a great one to try! You’ll need a 9 inch springform pan for this. If you do not have one, grab your cupcake pans out and place liners down – this would work for any size of cupcakes, but keep in…
